Komparace systémů zdravotního pojištění v ČR a USA

The main purpose of my bachelor's work is to analyse the system of health insurance in the Czech Republic in comparison with the system established in the United States of America. The choice of these two countries is wholly intentional, because I would like to show the strong points and possible weaknesses of these two absolutely different systems. I shortly summarize the general principles of providing the public and private health insurance in the introductory part of my bachelor's work. Then I go over to the specific systems used in these two countries. I point out the defects of the public health insurance on an example of the Czech Republic, particularly its inefficiency and actual problems. I focus on an example of the USA in the next chapter, where is the private health insurance based on a voluntary base provided. I compare real indicators of these two countries in the analytical part of my work, e.g. the total expenditures on the health care etc. In this analysis I consider a rate of the efficiency, solidarity, accessibility and quality of the provided health care in these different systems. In conclusion I sum up the results of my analysis and consider whether and possibly in which way the Czech system of health insurance could be inspired by the American system.
